Christianity: Does it Have a Founder

This essay defends the thesis that Jesus is not a historical person, but a myth, a myth that continues to fascinate us: The incarnation of God in the suffering of the Messiah. It is intriguing to see that the story of Jesus' life is composed of a stringing together of pieces of Messiah predictions out of the Old Testament. This process must have originated in the early Christian communities. The book begins with a description of how in Jewish Diaspora a liberal spirit reigned, the accent falling on the pureness of life and not on the accurate performing of the prescriptions of the Jewish Law. This liberal Jewish monotheism appealed strongly to the pagans and many of them joined Jewish Synagogue.
